Kickoffs serve as an introduction to the CEO of Your New Life (CEO YNL) program. The kickoff event occurs at the start of a new cohort and is an opportunity for new Entrepreneurs in Training (EITs) to meet Defy staff and volunteers and learn about Defy's culture firsthand. Through this event and interactions with volunteers, EITs are inspired to join CEO YNL and become a part of the Defy community. They deepen their commitment to the work that lies ahead and see that transformation is truly possible.
